Teaching Oral Health for Children at Home

Children should be taught good oral care early, to help them establish positive habits that will continue for the rest of their life.

From the age of two, a child can begin to brush their teeth with a small amount of fluoride tooth paste (which they should not swallow).

Experts advise that children should brush their teeth twice a day for around two minutes each time. Make sure they brush the fronts, backs, and tops of their teeth as well as the top of the tongue. Today toothbrushes and toothpaste are made specifically for children’s age groups.

A child can begin flossing once two of their teeth touch each other. Get them into a habit of flossing once a day.
